Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

lifesoboring I was considering giving this film a rating of 6 stars as I was watching it, up until the second half began. Then it started losing interest, becoming slow and lifeless and without suspense or tension. The one exception was the Sheriff character (he's the highlight of Silent Madness); he was hilarious, his lines were so funny and outrageous. Other than him, it is a boring, not-worth-watching second half. The sorority girls are really annoying, the house mother's acting is uncompelling, the scary scenes not real scary (but yes, the manner of some of the killings was unique and well-done). I presume the title of the movie refers to the killer's not ever uttering a single word the entire time. His looks and facial expressions don't come across as particularly psychotic or creepy. The lead male (newspaper editor) is a nothing-special character and his acting is mediocre. The two thugs are ridiculous and unreal characters. (Although the hospital parts at the beginning are pretty good). The secret "backroom" of the hospital where they are holding some patients in isolation and doing evil stuff to them (what are they doing exactly?) is not sufficiently explained. And the leading lady's motives for going up to the town and sorority house, and police station, to try to look at files to get background information on the killer also are not explained--and don't make sense. She is not there with the thought of hunting him and bringing him back--she does not suspect he is going to be there--he just happens to show up. So what was her point in trying to find out more facts about him and the original murders? What did she hope to do with this information? Finally, the twist ending was nothing to write home about. And the romantic interest aspect between the leading lady and newspaper editor was just tacked on. Never quite seen a movie like this where the first half was watchable and enjoyable and the second half just went to heck-- except for the Sheriff, really. With all this said, maybe you still want to watch it to see if you agree with my assessment of it.

Rich Wright A dangerous lunatic escapes from a mental hospital. A girls college is nearby. You figure out what happens next. And if you can't, you haven't seen enough movies. Or I've watched too many. Anyhoo, as the body count rises and we get a couple of obligatory boob shots, no-one believes the one sane female doctor who knows what's going on, so she sets out to stop the guy herself. After all, those vestal virgins ain't gonna be much use in a fight...Apart from a nostalgic glance at an old Dragon's Lair arcade machine, there is NOTHING that separates this from the surfeit of others slashers from the 80's. Bad hair, awful editing and plot holes are here in abundance. Why for instance, when our mad psycho catches up with the good lady doctor, is she the only victim he doesn't dispatch straightaway... He ties her up (not very well) thus giving her a chance to escape. Not only is he crazy, but also incredibly dumb.File under FORGETTABLE NONSENSE. Next... 4/10

Zontar-2 A: One that gets everything wrong. Not really inept, but it plays like someone set out to make a genre film wihtout bothering to scope the market. The killer (played by a stuntman with creepy conviction) is revealed in reel one. He's pursued not by doctors or lawmen but malevolent psycho ward attendants who meet comic deaths. His chief prey ia a thirtysomething gal who's chased thru a sorority basement the size of an airport. Most closely resembles the sick Canadian VISITING HOURS, and includes death by drillpress!

budthechud It was truly a hell night. In the eerie blackness of that traditional night of cruelty, the girls of Delta Omego sorority discovered what hell must surely be like----in a sudden, violent carnage at the hands of a frenzied psychopath! Now, twenty years later, the mute, deranged killer has come back----escaping from an insane asylum to repeat his grotesque, bloody brand of SILENT MADNESS! But a determined, attractive psychiatrist has come after him. And she knows where to find him. Where history will have a way of repeating itself. Where a sorority house is about to become a hellish, human slaughterhouse once again! There, in the haunted halls of Delta Omega, she will learn the terrible,twisted truth behind that notorious hell night. But no one will believe her. No one will listen...until the screaming starts!
